i nday, J-ebruary"! 97143" 3 Weir's Lads Meet K-State . . .Saturday Over underneath east Memorial stadium activity hbd geared to a torrid pitch Uit night a track militant Ed Weir and his Scarlet student ripped through final workout prior to their home cin der inaugural tomorrow afternoon with Kansas Slate. Final dispatches by Weir and Ward Haylctt, Kansas maetitro, along the pi ess front pointed to one of the tightest dual meets in N. U.-Kanss State track history. Hayett casually kept calling at tention to Nebraska's strength in field events though not commit ting himself as to the final out come. Weir sighted Al Rues, wing footed Kan. san, as the man to watch and declared "Figures .show the Wildcats, hut look for a thrill ing relay race to decide the out come." Rues Best. Concentrated around the form of the smooth-striding distance cog Mr. Rues, the Kansans are slated to score heavily in the sprints, hurdles, distances and broad jump. Rues last spring pushed Eobby Ginn to an indoor mile mark of 418.4 and may crack said record and score again to morrow with a double win in the two mile. Brown Favored. Chief individual duel of the ex travaganza will be furnished in the quartermile where Karusan Up ham faces rocket-legged Al Brown in a tide-turning mid-meet event. Brown's brilliant early year marks titamp him as favorite in this and the halfmile grind. "I think we'll slam that shot put," said headman Weir "and get back some valuable points." Big Vic Schleich, Howie Debus and Ki Kisenhart are primed to back said xtatement against weak Wildcat laient. Nebraska will get another block of points in the pole vault with Debus, and in the high jump with Abbott and Petring, but other things are indefinite. "I've got a relay team that with coordination can give those Wild cats a run for their money," con cluded Weir. His tentative lineup had Max Peterson, Hazard, Bowles and Brown running in that order.

Sooner Squad 'Enjoys Work' . . . A'o Foolin' NORMAN, Okla., Feb. 19. Al though Oklahoma's youthful, meager track and field squad may not win any meets this spring it likes to run. Composed chiefly of freshmen and sophomores, the new Sooner thinclads tried to enter every event on the calendar in Satur day's indoor interclass meet. Champion iron man was Lynn "Hobo'' Gilstrap, Ardmore fresh man, who placed In seven events. High point scorer of the 1942 Class A Oklahoma Interscholastic meet, Gilstrap won seconds in the 60 yards high hurdles and high jump; thirds in the 60 yards dash; the 60 yards low hurdles and the 440; fourth in the broad jump and then topped off his afternoon's ex ercises by running a snappy relay Jog. Andy Cary, Duncan freshman and Oklahoma Interscholastic 440 and 880 champ last year, tri umphed in the 440 and 880 and then anchored the freshmen relay team, in spite of the fact that he was on his feet six hours preced ing competition working in a gro cery store. Charles Heard, Cleveland soph omore, looked fresh after wading through half a dozen events. He won the 60-yard high hurdles, was second in the lows, placed in the high jump, broad jump and pole vault, and ran a crisp relay leg for the victorious sophomores.

Missouri's rapidly-rising maple men will come to town Saturday night intent on licking Nebraska i because: 1. Victory over Nebras ka is essential to the Mizzou "third place or else" drive: 2. That early season defeat at Husker hands still rankles with Tiger vengance. When the Tigers arrive at the coliseum Saturday night they will find Mentor Ad Lewandowski' Cornhuskers eqaully in earnest concerning the evening's doings because: 1. Like the Invaders, third place in the league is now a seasonal goal. 2. Victory over Misosuri in any sport is sweet to Husker fans. Huskers Improve. Lewandowski and his flippers went into a huddle yesterday aft ernoon to devise some method of stopping big Thornton Jenkins, high-scoring Mizzou soph center. Jenkins ruined Oklahoma last week with 17 points and a conse quent Mizzou win. If a bookie had taken bets on Nebraska chances against Mizzou at outset of the first half Satur day night, he couldn't have found a taker. Husker passing, defensive play and ball-handling was de cidedly "high school." Then came that grand finish when the chips were down to make spectators for get the drab showing earlier in the fracas. "We intend to take up just where we left off against the Wild cats," said Lewandowski yester day, "Our boys seem to be click ing now and they are determied Your favorite outfit ... a slack suit with perfectly cut jacket and slacks.

A fast helter-skelter game would play havoc with Husker replace ments Saturday night Lewandowski issued a "prob able" lineup yesterday which lists virtually the identical flippers who opened against K-State. Johnny Thompson will open at one forward berth with Ken Eluon and John Fitzgibbon waging a scrap for the other front-line position. Either John Eottorff or Max Young will gain the pivct nod. If Bottorff staits at center, Young will team with Bob Heinzelman in the rear court.
